NZ Cricketer Mitchell McClenaghan Tweets Selfie After Being Struck by Bouncer
The good news for cricket fans is that New Zealand bowler Mitchell McClenaghan is OK after being struck by a sickening bouncer during the first one-day international in Wellington on Monday.
The 29-year-old retired hurt after Anwar Ali's delivery became lodged in his helmet in the final over of the first innings, after helping his side to a match-winning 280 for 8.

He was helped from the field shortly after fracturing his eye socket and was taken to hospital.
But McClenaghan allayed any concerns over his wellbeing with a (rather graphic) selfie from his hospital bed a few hours later, along with the caption: "Thanks for all the concerns. Everything is as good as it can be just a few broken bones. Great win for the boys!"
Henry Nicholls' 82 runs helped set Pakistan 281 to win the match; though, the tourists were dismissed for just 210 in 46 overs.
